The research-based study was conducted for four years - 2005 to 2009 - on at least 51 families with a history of congenital hearing loss.

"Around 93 per cent of the couples expressed high interest in prenatal diagnosis, while 73 per cent considered termination if the foetus was affected," Dr Ishwar C Verma, chairman, department of genetics, Sir Ganga Ram hospital, said.

The result in cases of hearing couples, in whom genetic anomalies were identified, was even more disheartening.

"All of them opted for prenatal diagnosis. On testing, all the foetuses were found to be affected and the hearing parents elected to terminate the pregnancies," Dr Verma said.
